Checking Engine Oil
It’s a good idea to check your engine oil every time you
get fuel. In order
to get an accurate reading, the oil
must
be warm and the vehicle must be on level ground.
The engine oil dipstick has
a yellow handle and is
located near the center
of
the engine compartment.
See Engine Compartment
Overview on page
5- 12
for more information
on location.
Turn
off the engine and give the oil several minutes to
drain back into the oil pan. If you don’t, the oil
dipstick might not show the actual level.
Pull out the dipstick and clean
it with a paper towel or
cloth, then push it back in all the way. Remove it again,
keeping the tip down, and check the level.
